MATOPOS National Park An area of granite kopjes and wooded valleys.

Matobo Hills lies in Matopos National Park, a 35 kilometres far

south of Bulawayo.

It is a shrine for many African Gods, a place of mystery and leg-

end. You are able to view the 20,000 years old Bushman Paintings,

the magnificent rock formation, the beautiful scenery and at the

view of the world the tombs of the late Cecil John Rhodes, Lean-

der Starr and the Allen Wilson Memorial.

During your visit, you can go for a game drive through the park

where you will see the impala, giraffe, rhino, and the occasional

leopard as well as the beautiful black eagle.

Rhodes is buried on World's View

Come With Us & Walk the Wild

The rainy season in this dry area of Zimbabwe, geographically on the edge of the Kalahari Desert, lasts from November

to March. Then the area is transformed into lush greenery. However, at any time of year, you can climb the rocks and spy

out numerous Bushmen paintings hidden beneath the rocks or in hollows. Many hidden paintings exist for the intrepid

searcher. You will get magnificent views of sunrise and sunset from the top of the highest rocks. One of these is where

Cecil Rhodes (marauding colonial entrepreneur, who had a love-hate relationship with the local Ndebele people) was bur-

ied. Another is the famed Njelele rock where local chiefs gather every year to pray for rain. Because there are no street or

house lights, the view of the night sky is simply breath-taking.

GREAT Zimbabwe

Great Zimbabwe Ruins is said to have been built by the Mambo people who flourished between 1250-1450AD. The ruins

comprise three main complexes, the great enclosure, the hill, and the valley. The massive curving walls of the Great Enclo-

sure, 11m high and over 245m in circumference consists of nearly 1 million hand cut granite blocks fit together without

the aid of mortar.

It is interesting to note that although Great Zimbabwe is in the area of several rivers it is not actually on the shores of a

river. The city appears to be in the middle of nowhere. It is believed, however, that the city was located on a gold-rich

mine. Great Zimbabwe was used and built as a religious center and a place from which they worshipped Mwari, the

creator of all life as well as the sustainer of all things.

Lake Mutirikwe

During your visit to The Great Zimbabwe, you shall be taken for sunset boat

cruise on the Lake Mutirikwe which was built in 1961 to provide water for

the sugar estates.

HWANE National Park The largest protected national park in Zimbabwe

Hwange National Park-the largest protected wilderness in Southern Af-

rica, covering an area of 14,600sq kilo meters. It is the home of 105

mammals, 400 types of birds, 260 kinds of trees and 1000 kind of plants.

It is situated on the main road between Bulawayo and the world famous

Victoria Falls.

Water is the single most important management factor in Hwange’s con-

tinued existence-absolutely vital to the survival of what is perhaps Af-

rica’s single largest concentration of elephant.

The constant maintenance of the artificial but natural looking water pans,

complete with resident hippo’s and crocodile has been a major factor in

sustaining this ecological treasury. Without them Hwange national park

would return to the empty wasteland it once was, animals would die in

their thousands.

Driving Safaris in Hwange

Zebra £ Elephants

Walking, driving and horseback safaris are a popular way of seeing the

wild life.

It would be nice for you to go to a game drive to view the wildlife of the

area including the big five, the elephant, the rhino, the buffalo, the lion

and the leopard, in addition to the wonderful impala, zebra and giraffe.

waterfalls and tumbling rivers and streams ideal for trout fishing.

Trout fishing at INYANGA

hikes and holiday resorts. Inyanga or Nyanga also accommodates the highest

waterfalls in the country– the Mtazari Falls are about 769m high. The surround-

Lake Kariba was created in 1958 when the Zambezi River was dammed

to provide hydroelectric power for ZIMBABWE and ZAMBIA.

Some Africans initially opposed construction of the dam, seeing it as a

symbol of the unpopular Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, which

dissolved into Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and Zambia in 1963. Later,

however, the dam was accepted because of the inexpensive electric

power it furnishes to Zambia’s prosperous copper industry.

It is not only the beauty of lake KARIBA that is situated there, but there

are also many other astonishing areas where you can make your best

camping. The SIJARIRA forest area that is located on the banks of the

south-western shores of lake KARIBA, a magical gateway destination.

KARIBA Lake One of the largest dams in the world

Sunset Cruise

We will also go for the sunset boat

cruise on the lake where you will be able

to view all the wild life the country able

to offer and the most beautiful sunsets

imaginable.

VICTORIA Falls ‘The Smoke the thunders’: Mosi-oa-Tunya

Victoria Falls is known as Mosi-oa-Tunya; meaning Smoke that Thunders. It

is an avalanche of water hurling itself 1700 meters down a vertical chasm.

We will walk through the dense rain forest and take in the most breath-

taking scenery.

In the evening, it is an incredible view to see the sunset from your boat

cruise on the Mighty Zambezi River where you will see a host of wildlife

including hippo and crocodile.

You can also go to the crocodile farm where you will be able to learn more

about these deadly, prehistoric creatures.

Still there are many interesting activities waiting for you in Victoria Falls.
